Defaming the Prophet
Bengaluru, Jan 7: The Karnataka High Court on Monday ordered not to investigate against TV anchor Ajith Hanumakkanavar who was facing a case for defaming the Prophet during a debate in a TV programme, till January 16.
After hearing the petition filed by Ajith Hanumakkanavar seeking cancellation of the case, the Bench headed by Justice PS Dinesh Kumar issued the order.
As the case was transferred from Mangaluru South police station to High Grounds police station of Bengaluru, the high court has asked the public prosecutor to inform the court on action taken by the High Grounds police and posted the case to Jan 16.
Alleging that Prof Bhagvan had insulted the Hindu ideal personalities, Ajith, during a debate, had insulted the Prophet by criticizing Him in foul language.
